RE: [LegacyUG] Geo Location Database
Charles, A couple of simple things to do to make sure that Legacy can see the Geo Location Database. Close Legacy, reboot your computer, then start Legacy back up.

Re: [LegacyUG] Birth and death time
Legacy's date field is just that - for dates. You can include the time in the date field but you will get warnings about potential problems and age calculations can't be done. I usually recommend adding the time to the Notes for the event.

RE: [LegacyUG] Birth and death time
Pat, I have a lot of births and deaths in Germany and their birth and death certificates include the time. I think it is interesting information so I definitely want to include it. I use the Birth Notes and the Death Notes to record this. To the right of the birth or death field you will see a + sign. This is where you can add additional information such as addresses, notes and photos.

Re: [LegacyUG] Birth and death time
Hi Pat, There isn't a particular field for Time of Birth or Death in Legacy. You may want to submit a suggestion for it to be added. (See the Home Tab in Legacy for a link to submit suggestions). When known, which I don't for most people, I put it in the Birth or the Death Notes which are accessed from the plus sign at the end of the input line for the event.

RE: [LegacyUG] Customing a Global Event
And then there are, for Christians, First Communion, Confirmation, etc. But these, like the others, are probably better handled by creating an Event. Ordination, for instance, is an adult rite, which is included in the Legacy list of Events. Marriage is too, and, although important for genealogical purposes, is merely a rite when there are no offspring. I think there was some heated discussion here about still calling it Marriage now that many are not getting married...but then, genealogical databases are filled with progeny of parents who were not married. Isn't that that the purpose of Events?

Hi Syble, Risking answering you again. If you make an event for DNA match using the fields as you like, then you can choose to show that Event on Family View. I don't have any DNA data but I can imagine I'd use the Description field to say Matched to X (line). Will that work for you?

RE: [LegacyUG] Family view Individual is not the same options
Syble, I am curious. What exactly would you like to see on the Individual’s Information screen and Family View DNA wise? yDNA and mtDNA value sets are much too long to try and display there. Are you wanting to see the haplogroup? If you are wanting the haplogroup you could easily enter it in the User ID field on the Individual’s Information screen and then on the Family View change the labels so that the User ID field is visible there.

[LegacyUG] TMG looking for new home Legacy vs RootsMagic 7
I'm A TMG user but now have to look for new home, since TMG will no longer be tech supported, just forum. I've narrowed down to these 2 software programs and both have great features. I think it's coming down to the coloring features. TMG has a slew of colors to choose from, for however you wanted to setup your lines, such as, non-related lines with same name, unknown lineages, adopted lines, lines from Europe, etc etc. In Legacy, I'm not fully understanding the coloring system. It seems line I can only do two color scheme in each project. I have one project with seven different lines of the same name. I don't want to make 7 projects because a lot of the people are in the wrong lines and I need to switch over into correct colored line. Also I have only the standard Legacy, I haven't bought the deluxe, so maybe you can do this but only in the deluxe level? II read that Legacy is working with TMG to do a transfer file, will the color system be worked in, to be brought over? Or has any TMG switched and found the color coding to be okay. I would hate to do this and find my coloring system gone. TKS .

Re: [LegacyUG] TMG looking for new home Legacy vs RootsMagic 7
Dawn, I've migrated from TMG to Legacy over the past few months. I looked at the same programs that you have, but chose Legacy as my main program. At first the lack of flags (Legacy calls these tagging) and the lack of accent colors bothered me. While improved tagging would be great, I no longer miss the accent colors. The free version of Legacy has only 3 tags, but the full version has nine. Mine were assigned very quickly and I want more, more, more. IMO TMG users considering Legacy should buy the full program. That's the only way that you'll see all of Legacy's functions and options.

Right-click the any of the labels (or left-click, both work) and see the Customise Family View window. Now, select the least-useful Field Name and click on the small button with three dots on it: you'll get a list of field names to display. Select the Event... entry. This is mandatory since the data you want to display is help in an Event record. You should now see the Master Event Definition List. Pick your event and you're back to the Customise window.
